Answer: C) They can find the neighborhoods that are in the most danger, where to set up shelters, and which routes will help people reach safety.

Explanation: GIS is an extremely useful tool in analyzing geographic information. By overlaying topographic data as well as infrastructure, populations, bio-physical datasets (e.g. flood, landslide, storm surge, earthquake data), vulnerable areas as well are relatively safe areas can be detected. Thus, routes to safety as well as shelter construction can be planned.

The strength of an earthquake as well floodwater depth cannot be determined in advance with GIS. The bio.physical datasets that are used come from events that have already occurred and not future events. With GIS the damage caused by a future even can be estimated, but the strength of the natural disaster itself cannot.
